striker Posted July 28, 2019 Visiting Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2019 Haven’t seen this guy play so no idea how good he is. I just hope for Villa’s sake he doesn’t turn out to be another Salifou. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Gotta love that the Mail has done an article based solely on his Football Manager stats. Novel way to address a player they had never heard of I guess Fwiw Football Manager are pretty good at this kinda stuff, but still. Villa signing so many players that they can't keep up and someone pitching the idea to use FM so they at least have something. Quote According to Nakamba's Football Manager 2019 profile, he's a defensive midfielder who does his best work off the ball, rather than on it, as he focuses more on the defensive side of the game. The Zimbabwe international has very strong mental attributes, including aggression, bravery, determination, work rate and teamwork, whilst also being strong physically, with high values for stamina, balance, strength and natural fitness. He's not as strong technically as Villa's other midfield players, with average values in passing (12), first touch (11), dribbling (11) and technique (12), as he prefers to keep things simple and impact the defensive phase, rather than the offensive one. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/marvelous-nakamba-aston-villa-transfer-16644581 Better make room in the trophy cabinet for that Pulitzer Prize 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 And to think Leeds wanted how much for Phillips? Nakamba plays for his country and has played CL football...I think he seems the better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regard to Nakamba, I agree he is the more affordable option and I think his experience is a better fit for us. Well I hope! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Philips deal as a backup to Luiz will be better than this at anycase. Not even sure he would be interested to come and not guarantee starts.
